Blog #7

            This week I chose to write about the gifts that God has given me. I like to believe that our personality and traits are acquired through God and our parents. I think some things are God given and other things are achieved through our upbringing.

            I think my best trait is my ability to make people laugh. I enjoy this more than anything and that could be a big reason why I am good at it. I think that as long as everyone is smiling and laughing, they are happy. It’s NEVER a bad thing to laugh. Well maybe sometimes if it’s at someone else’s expense, but for the most part laughing is a very good thing.

            Whenever I am with my friends I really take pride in the fact that I can make all of them laugh. It’s usually done by making stupid, inappropriate comments or singing a little song that I make up. I know not everyone thinks that my sense of humor is funny but the important thing is that the people close to me think I am funny.

            I’ve been getting really into making videos. As a communication major I am and are going to be taking classes dealing with videography. I really enjoy making these videos and have actually spent a good bit of time making one of my friends and I just for fun. I took a bunch of footage that I have randomly shot over the past year and so and put it together. It ended up being really funny and I know my buddies enjoyed watching it and reminiscing. I’ll stick a link at the bottom of the page if you’d like to check it out. It’s not TOOO offensive. Just kidding, I’d say it’s PG to PG-13.

            I think another thing that God has blessed me with is a friendly face. I guess that’s kind of a weird thing to say but I like to think I have a welcoming face and smile. I don’t think that anyone would ever be afraid to come up and ask me something or spark a conversation with me. At least I would hope not. I like to believe I am a photogenic person and that’s one reason why I believe I can excel in sports broadcasting. I think that not only my knowledge but also my look could set me apart. You were right, writing this makes me feel like an egotistical prick.

            I think my most important trait is my passion for things that I truly care about. When I grab onto something, I refuse to let it go. No matter how bad its hurting me, if I truly believe in it, I believe it will be for the best. If that makes sense. I consider myself to be a loyal person and I won’t give up on something just because it has fallen out of favor or it’s in a rut or what not. I will never be a fair weather fan in any sense of life.

This is my video. You’ll get to meet a few of the friends I talked about in Blog #4. Hope it makes you laugh!
